the next day i felt pretty good about getting up and going to school. i got up, got dressed and actually spoke to my parents. i left a little early so i just walked to school. this is probably the most excited i ever been to go to school.
as i got there i started to look for Ashton. i found him. making out with Claire. after last night i forgot about him and Claire was a couple still. i almost felt crushed, so i took a deep breath and left the sight. i walked past Ashton and went inside for my geometry class. ashton and Claire walked in not long after hand in hand. i rolled my eyes and took out my geometry book
"hey" he whispered
"hi," i said without looking at him
"uhm you okay?"
"yes I'm fine" i replied immediately and looked at him. he stared at me for a few seconds then looked forward. he's been quiet throughout class until the last few minutes.
"hey look," he said unbuttoning his shirt, i looked and saw an Asking Alexandria shirt
"Woah that's an awesome shirt," i said with a smile.
"hah yea," he said buttoning it back up. the bell rang
"wait why are you buttoning it back up, its a sick shirt"
"oh no Ashton, did she vomit on you?" Claire asked walking up to us.
"Nah she didn't," he said laughing
"good," she said wrapping herself around him. "you need to stay away from him,"
"why?" he asked
"because she's a dirty pig that's why, and we cant have you getting affected." she said smiling even though that hurt my feelings bad as fuck
"don't worry babe, im all yours," he said kissing her. he smiled and walked out the classroom, not even looking back. i knew this would happen. having sex with mister popular like he would actually confront his feelings to me in front of people.
i grabbed my stuff and left the classroom. of course, i started to cry. i was so confused about everything
i avoided, well tried to avoid, Ashton all day. i didn't even go to the library, just another day spent in the bathroom. i heard the bell ring for 8th period. i gathered my stuff and left. . i saw Ashton in there already. i made a heavy sigh and rolled my eyes. i walked into the classroom taking out my phone.
"I'm sorry." are the first words out his mouth
"no your not," i said quietly not looking at him but taking my seat next to him
"yes i am"
"whatever" i placed both earplugs in and played my music really loud and went to sleep. not caring about the class
a while later i felt tapping on my shoulder. i look up to see no one but Ashton next to me. i take it as class ended and rushed out. not even stopping at my locker
just as i think I'm done with the hell today, i remember Claire and her family is coming over for dinner tonight
~~~FEW HOURS LATER~~~~
"Vanessa can you get that?" my mom asked me as i was helping her set the table for dinner tonight. i went to open the door but my stepdad grabbed my arm.
"with a smile," he said. i rolled my eyes and went back to the front door. i plastered on a fake smile and opened it.
"Heyy you must be Vanessa," Claires dad said walking in and shaking my hand
"hi," i said shaking his hand and letting him in. as Claire walked in she purposely stepped on my foot. "very funny claire step on my foot and walk by so like you." i said smiling hiding the pain in my foot
"oops! sorry Vanessa." she said smiling and went to join my parents at the dinner table i followed them
"hmm smells like chicken up in here?"
"chicken, potatoes and asparagus." my mom said as we all sat down. i sat in front of claire, then my mom and dad. as soon as i look up from my plate i see claire staring at me aggressively. like i did something to her.
throughout dinner both our dads just talked about johns new job. we all finished eating within 50 minutes. john cleared his throat. im guessing to get my attention. he raised his brow at me. "talk" he mouthed. i made a small sigh
"wheres your mom?" i asked
"she had to work," claire said politely. "shell be here next week though"
"next week?" my mom and i said at the same time then looked at john
"uhm don, refreshments?" john quickly said grabbing his plate and don followed right behind him
"john!" my mom said leaving for the kitchen leaving just me and claire in the dining room. i kept my eyes on my fingertips and i felt claires eyes burning me at the back of my skull
"what?" i finally said
"what did you do to ashton?"
"i didn't do anything to ashton" i said looking up
"oh really? since geometry class today hes been feeling upset since you were talking to him"
"ive done nothing to him, how about you ask him what he did"
"okay he did nothing." she said standing up
"okay you'd be surprised!" i said joining her. we just stared at each other the entire time
" oh claire you ready to go?" don sad walking back in the dining room
"very" she said storming off
"oh okay. uh john tomorrow, Vanessa next week" he said giving handshakes but i left without giving one back
"Vanessa," my mom called for me. i stopped at the top of the stairs
"yes" i said turning around
"what is your problem? you've been quiet all night, your starting problems with dons daughter-"
"didn't i tell you to be polite tonight?!" john said stepping in cutting my mom off
"hey don't throw that on me. i tried to be polite to the little she-devil-"
"who? claire is such a sweet girl and you turned into the exact opposite"
"oh yea cause acting superior and bullying the weak is such a sweet thing to do!!"
"no one is bullying you vanessa stop acting like a little kid! hell the way you been acting you fucking deserve it. you're not as important to anyone to pay THAT much attention to you." once john said that its like my heart just stopped beating and i stopped breathing. i never heard them say something like that and my "mom" just agreed.
"live life in my shoes and say those exact words again" i turned around crying and ran to my room. for about the third time today, i just sat and cried. i tried reaching for my razor again but then i remembered about tom. so instead i grab my phone and give him a call
"hey girlie whats up?" i sniffled a bit and let some tears fall. "Nessa whats wrong?" he said more sternly.
"can we meet up tomorrow?"
"Ohh im sorry im not in state tomorrow"
"ugh where are you going?"
"Connecticut with Ryan and his family"
i sighed "that's great"
"on Sunday, okay?"
"promise? i really need to talk to you"
"yes of course, her -Ryan!" tom called out. i heard a muffled 'yeah' in the background. "remember Vanessa?" 'yeah' "okay Sunday im all hers, shes in a crisis" 'okay' "okay there its settled
i made a small laugh, "thanks, tom"
"okay i gotta get ready for tomorrow, love you"
"love you too, bye," i said hanging up the phone and tossing it in a pile of clothing. i tried to get some sleep but who could sleep after a day like this?
